-With this caveat, if you wish to bundle `fog` into your application on Ruby
-1.8.7, you must add the following line to your `Gemfile`.
-
-```ruby
-gem 'nokogiri', '~>1.5.0'
-```
-
-Also, ensure that you are using LibXML version 2.8.0, since there is an
-[issue with LibXML version 2.9.0][issue829] ([and 2.9.1][issue904]).

+Ruby 1.8.7 support was dropped in `fog-v2.0.0` as a backwards incompatible
+change. Please use the later fog `1.x` versions if you require `1.8.7` support.
